Default New Mods: Bats Overlays and more

Heya guys I decided to try something different. I ordered some Overlays from Bluebatmobile.com (a vendor on this site) I ordered the Front Headlight overlays in yellow. I'm not sure if I like them.. the qualty and cut are great, thanks Bat. I think I would like them better if they were a few shades lighter in color. I've decided to keep them on for a week, and if in a week there is still a question in my mind.. off they will go. The Rear turn signal overlays are great in my mind. I love how they look.

And for Valintines my girl got me a FairladyZ badge. Thanks Honey .. I love it!

Here are some Pictures....

Ahh... Fairfax Towne Center

Hey Mike, do you still have those silverstone mudgaurds? I'll buy the complete set from you once the snow stops :-p I took my car once to Embassy and I think they scuffed them up. I'm sure some rubbing compound would take the scratches off, but I figured, if you have all 4, might as well get them all.

Oh, and I think they look nice, although, I'd have to see them lit up. If they matched your seats more, that'd be cool!

Uhm did you use the blue form to put on your fairlady Z badge. It looks crooked and off center but that might be the lighting.

Hey Mike. I don't think I'm feelin' the overlays. Your car is just too beautiful all silver and bad-@$$ lookin'. The yellow overlays kinda make 'er look like she's got jaundice. I vote to pull 'em. I do like the rear turn-signal overlays though. I'm with you on keepin' those.

Hmmm, I'm totally 50/50 on the front right now, rear overlays look great though.

On a side note, how do you like your kit? That rear end is the 1st one I have came across that looks decent to me, and doesn't add a second line in the body (the whole rear end, not an add on)

Is the fitment good? Urethane or Fiberglass?
I actually know a few cats at Versus and could probably get one.
My chick is also sponsored by them, but she has a problem at high speeds with the rear end catching a lot of drag. Does this happen on yours? Sorry for all the questions.

Thanks in advance

-Travis

Love the kit

Fitment was pretty good.. I had to fabricate a bracket for the rear trunk pop.. other than that was a breeze.

Fiberglass

Drag... not that I have noticed. But I've only seen a hundred for a few seconds since the kit went on..

Mike,

Where'd you purchase your Gram lights?? Also, where'd you get your pulley's installed?? Ya the light difference wasnt noticeable through the overlays, looked like you were still getting same light output with them on. Although I did notice a nice looking yellow tint on the asphalt in front of you.

Why you gotta rub it in?? In case you walk out and see your car rolling or should I say sitting up on bricks...u'll know who to hold responsible!
